Glasgow Airport flights diverted over air traffic staffing issue

Two flights have had to be diverted from Glasgow Airport to Prestwick because of a staffing issue with air traffic controllers.

Glasgow Airport said operations were suspended between 10:00 and 10:30.

Several other flights were also delayed because of the issue, which is understood to involve a temporary staff shortage.

A spokesman for the airport said both diverted flights were returning to Glasgow.

He added: "We would like to apologise to our passengers for any inconvenience caused and thank them for their patience."
